18. HBBTV system
HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a stand- ard that seamlessly combines TV services delivered via
broadcast with services delivered via broadband and also enables access to Internet only services for consumers
using connected TVs and set-top boxes. Services delivered through HbbTV include traditional broadcast
TV channels, catch-up services, video-on-demand, electronic programme guide, in- teractive advertising,
personalisation, voting, games, social networking and other multimedia applications.
HbbTV applications are available on channels where they are signalled by the broadcaster.
The HbbTV applications are generally launched with the press of a coloured button on the remote. Generally a
small red button icon will appear on the screen in order to notify the user that there is an HbbTV application on
that channel. Press the button indicated on the screen to launch the application.
HbbTV applications use the buttons on the remote control to interact with the user. When an HbbTV application
is launched, the control of some buttons are owned by the application. For example, numeric channel selection
may not work on a teletext applica- tion where the numbers indicate teletext pages.
HbbTV requires AV streaming capability for the plat- form. There are numerous applications providing VOD
(video on demand) and catch-up TV services. The OK (play&pause), Stop (press and hold REC button for 3
seconds), Fast forward, and Rewind buttons on the remote control can be used to interact with the AV content.
Note: You can enable or disable this feature from the TV Options-> Advanced Options-> HBBTV Settings menu
in Live TV mode.

If earlier an automatic search is performed, your TV will search for new or missing digital channels at 05:00 am
every morning while in quick standby mode.
And if the Auto Channel Update option in the Settings>Channel menu is enabled the TV will wake up within 5
minutes after it is switched into quick standby mode and search for channels. Standby LED will blink during this
